I’m pretty sure it’s been mentioned before but these people have trouble remembering their own history. In her “Anti-science”? post Denyse bemoans the state of science teaching in schools. She asks, quoting Steven Novella:
| Quote | | Quote | | “For example – who gets to determine what is ‘controversial?’ And who gets to determine what is ‘balanced?’” |
How about parents and teachers as opposed to bureaucrats and lobbyists? |
…which on the face of it sounds like a fairly stupid idea until you remember that the plaintiffs in the Kitzmiller case (a massive blow to intelligent design) were all local parents*.
As the old saying goes, careful what you wish for, Denyse.
*To be fair rvb8, who brought up the case in the comments, also appears to have overlooked this.
